O que eu aprenderei?

Programme Aims and Objectives

To provide a well-rounded legal education to those who already possess a first degree in a non-law discipline (or a law degree from a non-common law jurisdiction) and who wish to enter the legal profession in Hong Kong or who want to equip themselves for a career in law-related employment.

City University of Hong Kong offers a taught programme of study tailor-made for students aiming for admission as a solicitor or barrister in Hong Kong.

The programme is also suitable for students looking for a professional alternative to the MBA degree and aiming for leadership roles in commerce, industry, government, the media and community services.

The core of the JD programme will consist of three courses that are essential for a proper understanding of the law and its workings in Hong Kong: Legal Methods, Research and Writing, Legal Systems of Hong Kong and Mainland China, and Jurisprudence.

Students will also be required to select courses from a wide range of electives drawn from the JD curriculum, the Master of Laws (LLM) and the Master of Laws in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution (LLMArbDR) programmes.

Career

The School of Law prepares you for the legal profession and for law-related careers in the public service and private enterprise. Our law degree particularly meets the need of those who would like to join the legal profession in Hong Kong, or look for other law-related opportunities in Mainland China and the Asia-Pacific region.

  • International Commercial Law
